CMC
Commercial Metals Company
CMC combines upward price momentum near its 52-week high with bullish technical signals while operating with positive earnings growth, solid liquidity, and moderate leverage. At the same time, valuation multiples and free cash flow metrics are not low for a cyclical steel producer, and elevated short-volume ratios and high ADX highlight active positioning and trend risk.

JP Morgan Predicts Mixed Q4 Steel Earnings Despite Steel Rally

JP Morgan analyst Bill Peterson maintains Overweight ratings on Nucor, Commercial Metals, and Reliance despite predicting mixed Q4 steel earnings. While steel equities have rallied 17% in three months and HRC prices are up 17%, weak underlying demand and seasonal factors are expected to pressure Q4 results. Peterson expects price momentum to continue through Q1 2026, though upside is limited by narrowing import arbitrage and anticipated summer slowdown.

Sentiment note

Maintained Overweight rating but Q4 expected to show weaker earnings due to seasonally lighter shipments and lagging sheet contracts down ~8% QoQ. Q1 results showed positive momentum in rebar fabrication.
